I'm in the final stretch before major trans gender-affirming surgery, and any book sales will be so helpful in being able to afford this all! Direct sales through TF Publishing are best, but anything will be so beneficial. Please consider purchasing, signing up to Patreon, or sharing this thread.
Cover art for Dragon's Soul, featuring two dragonesses and a gryphon in a close, loving huddle. Art by Vurt. Cover art of Axinstone, featuring a black dragon standing atop an arch rock formation, in front of a stylised pastel background. Art by Chromamancer. Cover art for Reborn, which features a starat – an anthropomorphic weasel-like creature – standing upright and holding his hand out to help up a second starat, lying on his back. The starat standing is wearing work overalls, while the second is wearing military uniform. They are in a rocky environment with a dark sky. Art by Ilya Royz.

Ok, sometime we're going to need Whisper and Firebrand art to share the lesbian gryphon love across our books!

I write #queer focused #fantasy and #sci-fi stories with themes around finding your true self, #transformation, and fighting against tyranny.
Dragon's Soul is #trans, hopeful, and cozy, Reborn is dark and a constant fighting struggle. Destiny of Dragons somewhere in the middle.

A soul born into the wrong body will find a way to wear a form that fits its true shape. Teku was an unwanted human with no purpose. Ember is a dragon loved and accepted for who she is.

DRAGON´S SOUL, the new novella by @jfrcoates.bsky.social is a dragon story like no other.

Time moves on and so does the nature of storytelling.

The written word emerges to tell tales of civilization, of the earliest kingdoms and empires, of great deeds and terrible disasters. The world may not be so young, but the stories are no less compelling.

Cover art of In the Light of the Dawn, which features several anthropomorphic characters in a classical style. One in standing while the others sit or lie on the grass. The standing person is orating a story. In the background is a classical Greek temple. Art by Erkhyan.

In one month today I'm flying down to Melbourne for gender affirming surgery. I can't believe it's come around so quickly! The final little stretch now.

Authors, one more time:
📣 ANY use of genai will get you onto my "do not read" list.
Cover art, interior art, character pages, extras, bookmarks, ads, marketing material, website, all of it.
Using it AT ALL means you do not respect or understand the damage that genai has done and actively does.

The writing stuff definitely isn't debatable! Your characters are always a delight to read about, and you always have a magnificent way of being able to weave in so much backstory and setting into short stories without it feeling overwhelming.

But yes FurDU is a must!

Excellent writer, a good person to chat to, and you've been a delight to be in the company of in the couple of times I've seen you in person!

Plus the taur thing.

I think that's just a quintessential part of the queer experience (and even the word queer): different people can find power in different words while others consider it borderline a slur.

I say take power in what works for you and don't police other queer folks in how they use words and self-label.

I am already crying and it's only the trailer.

The actual movie itself is going to crush my heart in every conceivable way and I will love every moment.

The oceans are dying. The sea goddess likely dead.

Verse just wants to be left to live a quiet life, but he is dragged into events of world-shattering consequences that threaten to free the monster within his fragmented mind.
